The first and most noticeable difference is the interpretation of Scripture. Dispensationalism follows a literal interpretation until it becomes obvious it's not literal. That's a thorn in the rear of the Calvinists. Covenant Theology starts out in a similar way but has a twist of...

The same could be said of the Reformed/Covenant Theology who have no knowledge of Dispensationalism and no desire to understand it.

Not trying to argue in the negative but only taking the insufficiency of the Old to its logical conclusion.

I think that has already been brought out. Whose fault was it that the Old was not sufficient? Certainly not God being that man has now placed himself at the mercy and grace of God for his very survival. It took time for God to provide a Redeemer for man to be totally redeemed. Man is at...

That's true, Van, but it was the fault of man that placed him in that position.

I think it's simple why there was fault with the Old, "the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin." It pointed to the One who could and would. But as I mentioned before, that was all that could be done until the atonement that ushered in the New.

Speaking only for myself, I determine if a man or woman is in submission before God's creation model, concerning hair length, in that they make sure they can't be mistaken for the opposite sex. That's out the window in this society, no regard for God's order of submission for the man or woman...

The Law of Moses never required a woman to wear head covering, that came from man. I see the woman covering her head as an option, but the length of her hair not an option according to the creation model. Fades come and go throughout time, but the length of hair on the man and woman has been...

Paul said that long hair to a woman is her glory, but to a man it's shame. We all have our opinion on what is considered long. If you remember during WW 2 the French women that played the whore with the German soldiers had their hair cut off to their shame. Long hair is the same shame to a...

I'm not going to comment on this, some things are best left alone.

The fault of the Old Covenant was on man's part, the demands of God were based on the performance of man. A famous preacher once said that was all that could be done until the atonement.

I think for myself the statement, "I don't trust myself with riches" is more accurate. I'm afraid of riches, knowing there are things in this world that could come between my relationship with Christ. I see nothing wrong with riches in itself, but for me I see it as an unnecessary test with...

While holding to the PSA theory, I try to understand why God initiated the Law of Sin and Death, why must unrepentant man be separated from God? Now we enter into the character of God, who He really is, and His just demands from man as the Creator.

Sounds like you have been discipled under sound doctrine. It's possible the same person taught us.

I was speaking more along the line of Health Care premiums. At 14 y.o. I was bitten by a moccasin on the right hand. They are not as poisonous as a rattler but still very poisonous. I was with Dad in the woods training his young Beagle rabbit dogs. After we kicked a few rabbits out of the...

I wouldn't want my comments to discourage anyone wanting to prove their faith with literal poisonous snakes. I would suggest they confirm their insurance premiums are up to date before doing so.

I see no spiritual Kingdom that Christ is ruling. 70 ad is a myth at best. John said those who overcome He will give the power to rule with a rod of iron when He comes. Evil will not prevail during His rule on earth. I surly don't see that taking place.

Yep, reminds me of those 7 men that seen Paul tread on the evil of demons without harm and thought they could do the same. Didn't work to well for them as they barely escaped with their lives.

Yes, don't test God with stupidity. You may find yourself on the losing end! Paul was a great enemy of Satan, one of his greatest enemies. He tried to kill Paul through the Jews, and then through a hurricane in the ocean, and then by a deadly viper. But Satan can't kill anyone until they...

One of the first rules of Dispensationalism that was beaten into my head as a young man was to take no single verse into interpretation without exhausting all other relating verses. For example, Mark 16:18 is for the most part revealed in comparing it to Luke 10:19. Failing to follow this...
